1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham

It’s huge, I know old caddys are huge but holy. 19.5ft long, & 5300lbs. The wheel is about 11ft.

Yes, you can fit many bodies in the trunk.

Yes, those seats just say “come on, lets cruise the highway.”

Powering this yacht is the 472ci/7.7L V8 pushing 205hp/365lb-ft. Slap some turbos on it & it still be slow, but not as slow. See how much boost the automatic can take then manual swap.

& yes I still take this boat out of the dry dock to go sailing at Auto-X & at the track. Yes, it probably gets fuel economy.

De-smogging it will increase the power an absolutely staggering amount before you even bump the compression.

Horsepower sucks because these engines were choked off and couldn’t breathe/ Rev. Get rid of the smog equipment and male a few changes to get it breathing, and you won’t need the turbo.

Go look up the RPM for that peak power number. It’ll be really low.

Several years ago I almost bought a loaded white ‘74 fleetwood brougham with patterned burgundy velour interior. It had the 500ci and like 75k miles on it; unfortunately the owner wanted too much for it. I have wanted one ever since.

My pictures are MIA but here is one from the internet which shows the interior (white exterior is easy enough to find) :

I need that car and a suit that matches the interior.
